I started reading this when I saw the spot on the monitor I have been meaning to clean for weeks.

I hear ya Lucky.......

LOL, been there done that! Not really a good thing:-)

I can relate to parts of that!!! LOL

You mean this isn't normal?  Mrs Rufcut says it only seams to be age related.  Until you are 40 you are too busy chasing after kids to notice.

My wife has just stopped asking me what did you do today honey because of this disease!!

all's well as long as i can find my glasses! (have 5 pair, one for each room yet they still seem to congregate in inopportune locations).

This is the time when it is rainning, cold and the tv stations start moving the shows times and days with fill-ins and specials that result in reruns of shows that I think we enjoy but have already seen. Then when our evening schedual matches our viewing pleasures, they switch the times or day shown that causes our favored to be on at the same time.?? then comes the summer replacements that conflict with the reruns that were schedualed to run at the same time as one that we already saw and the family picnic. ? and then my calender schedual is missing appointments that the offices didn't send a notice about, ____ and the gas tank seems to be empty everytime the grass needs to be mowed but the extension cord is too shortwrapped on the reel. Also when the kids come home I need to ask where they put my tools that wern't put back in the toolbox that was in the corner of the basement in the garage. They just don't respect what they are supposed to. It's all their falt that I can't get things done.!!

Wow I thought I was going crazy. Now I know that if I am I am not going to be alone. I just need to remimber how I am. Thank goodness I have an ID to help me with that.

this is so familiar

This is the norm for me and is a explanation of my riding habits. There a standard joke that when I lead or even follow I get distracted by shiny objects. We'll started down one way and if a shiny object attracts my attention I head in that direction. No one knows where the hell i'm going. But we all have a good time getting there. Oh look a shiny object.............

Whut???????

Apparently its going aroundnow where did I put those dam glasses at ???!!!
